Would you be willing to replace the income tax with payroll tax(to cover SS and MC), tariffs and a national sales tax? Because that would do it.

Sure, I’d love be to see the income tax go away, and the combination of tariffs and national sales tax would be just fine with me.
I do have to quibble with the word “replace” if by that you mean the change from income tax to tariffs and a national sales tax would be revenue neutral.
For me to get on board, the income tax should be repealed and NOT replaced - at least not entirely. It should be partially replaced only to the extent of funding a federal government which is limitted in size and scope per the constitution.
Politicians can and will debate what that means, but I’m sure you will agree that as it now stands, the government is vastly over-sized, and any method of taxation that enables that excess is - as Frederick Bastiat called it - “legal plunder”.
